My summer duties have kept me hopping. An important law of nature: when you plant 100 or so lilacs, eventually they will have to be pruned. It took several days for me (with the help of hubby and an electric hedge clipper) to tame those bushes. Planting (tomatoes, beets, onions, eggplant, peppers, radishes, lettuce, spinach, kale, Romano beans, plus all the cutting garden flowers) took about a week. Add on working on the new pond, staining the arbor, painting fences, spraying trees, weeding (always weeding), and it's a wonder I haven't dropped in my tracks.
What I haven't been doing is talking on the phone or mowing my lawn. The phone was out for 4 days (it was so peaceful), and my lawn tractor has been in the hospital. Hopefully tomorrow I can get back on track with posting.
